PortusSophia™ Lab

Governance & Engineering Node

Purpose

This is the operational workspace of PortusSophia™—the machine room where governance standards, witness cycles, CI workflows, and structural integrity enforcement are defined, maintained, and executed.

This node is not public-facing. It is a technical resource for:

Stewards executing governance workflows
Engineers implementing integrity verification
Auditors reviewing structural compliance
Developers building tooling around PortusSophia™ architecture

What Lives Here

Governance

Standards — Formal specifications (PS-STD-001, PS-STD-060, PS-STD-140, etc.)
Witness Cycles — Templates and procedures for LOGOS/DRACO reviews
Stewardship Workflows — Role definitions, cycle execution, boundary enforcement
Appeals — Structural appeal templates and resolution procedures
WebKernel Topology — Domain mappings, audience rules, content restrictions

Engineering

CI Workflows — Hash generation, UICH validation, drift scanning
Scripts — Validation tools, integrity verification, boundary checks
Diagnostics — Drift models, risk maps, stability analyses

Recipes

WebKernel Engineering Recipes — Repeatable patterns for content generation, node activation, governance execution

Boundary Constraints

This node maintains strictest boundaries of all PortusSophia™ subdomains.

✅ Allowed

Governance documents and standards
Engineering specifications
Witness cycle templates
CI workflows and automation
Topology documentation
Diagnostics and drift analysis
Stewardship procedures
System recipes

❌ Prohibited

Canon (PS-CAN artifacts referenced externally only)
Narrative (personal, emotional, historical content)
Founder identity (resume, statements, personal reflections)
Public orientation (belongs to Public Node)
Academic research (belongs to MIT Node)
Interpretive content (meaning-making narratives)

Principle: The Lab Node is a cold workspace—structure, not story.
